First bird with my recurve. 50# Super Kodiak, Beman MFX 400 w/100gn brass insert and old 2 blade Bear Greenhead.
Hunting in Muskogee County in Oklahoma. I was sitting on the ground in a natural blind that my son and I threw together 2 weeks ago.
Had a hen decoy on the ground and a jake decoy standing behind it about 12 yards in front of me.
Three hens came off the roost and landed 'bout 20 yards away. Then the tom and two more hens landed behind me. When the first three hens saw the decoys they started putting nerviously and the tom came to see what was up. When he saw the decoys he got ticked. Full strut he came in at a fast walk 10 yards in front of me and faced the decoys.
All I remember is picking a spot and the next thing I saw was my arrow going completely thought him. He jumped up and flew about 30 yards, landed, took another few steps and fell over.
He weighed 16 pounds and had a 9 inch beard. Small in size, but mean enough to have his own flock of 5 hens!
Its an awesome feeling when everything comes together and your natural abilities take over.
Thanks everybody for looking and reading.
Sorry for the blurry pics. All I had was my cell phone.
